I wonder how much of this GDP growth is due to increased consumption? After all, the FED has just sprayed billions free $s at the US consumer in the form of a stimulus package. Small wonder that GDP has risen. Watch out for inflation.

Short-term it certainly will be. Election boost? Don't have the evidence but wouldn't be surprised.
